Hey to all looking.
You should be able to add comments, it’s just not working for some reason. Tell me what you think of the UI though. I’ll look into the commenting problem.

Pretty impresive. If I had to criticize it I’d say it needs more of a theme to tie it together. Like a secret theme. Whatever that looks like.

Thanks

Yeah I need to get some pictures to spruce it up, and I need an logo to tie it all together.

I think you’re trying to rip off the good folks at Post Secret , and doing a poor job of it.

Here’s my feedback: Hire a designer and make a real website (no offense)

Okay then what’s your feed back on this? http://web.mac.com/elumas/www.Thomas.com/Thomas.html

It’s interesting and looks pretty decent, but there are links all over the place, and the content is buried. For example, it takes 3 clicks to get to a blog post. For another example, there are 2 different links to the blog, photos, and other pages all on the home page. Why double up? Confusing. You’ve also broken up a lot of links into separate items (like the “I have a twitter” link is actually 3 links), which kinda makes no sense.

Overall, while it looks decent visually, there’s no rhyme or reason behind the design of the site. I would say it’s a good first try for a beginner. Take some design classes, you’ve definitely got an eye, you just need some structure and discipline. Learn what design really is.
